Porsche has announced a voluntary recall of 158 Panameras (YAA/YAB), manufactured between 19 July 2023 and 2 September 2025, due to incorrectly assigned cabling for the crash sensors in the door trim panel. “An incorrectly assigned sensor can delay the side airbag trigger in a particular crash situation. Such a delayed trigger of the side airbag increases the risk of injury,” the Voluntary Recall Information section of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers’ (SIAM) website stated. This comes amid the recent recall of 142 Porsche Panamera (YAA) units in Australia over a similar airbag issue.
- 158 Panameras recalled over delayed side airbag deployment risk in crash
- Recall includes models produced from 19 July 2023 to 2 September 2025
- A Porsche 991 recalled earlier this year over seatbelt issue
As is usually the case with these recalls, Porsche is expected to directly reach out to owners of the affected cars to fix the problem. Owners could also log on to recall.porsche.com and enter their VIN to check if their cars have been affected.
Porsche 911 recalled in March 2025
Recall was announced over faulty seat-belt buckle
As per SIAM data, this is the second recall Porsche has announced in India this year. The previous recall, announced in March for a Porsche 991, was also over a safety issue. “An aluminium butyl mat was incorrectly positioned and, consequently, the screw connection of the rear left and right seat-belt buckle may not have been carried out according to the specifications. If this is the case, the correct screw connection of the seat-belt buckle would not be ensured. In such a case, it cannot be ruled out that the rear seat-belt buckles would loosen in the event of an accident or emergency braking. This could increase the associated risk of injury,” the apex body representing all major vehicle and vehicular engine manufacturers in India stated.
